SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 419,000, dated January'7, 1890. Original application filed March 6, 1886, Serial No. 194,288.Divided and this application filed December 15, 1888. Serial No.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ORISON O. WHITNEY, a citizen of the United States,and a resident of Cleveland, county of Ouyahoga, and State of Ohio, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Organ-Cases, of whichthe following is a specification, the principle of the invention beingherein explained and the best mode in which I have contemplated applyingthat principle, so as to distinguish it from other inventions.

My invention has for its object the imhereinafter described and claimed.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of an organ provided with my improvedappliances. Fig. 2 is a detail plan view of the lamp-bracket. Fig. 3 isa detail view of the locking-button.

v The front face A of the organ-case is provided above the keys andadjacent thereto on either side of the-music-rack with the horizontalslot to. Pivoted within said slot at a is the lamp-bracket b, ofquadrant or other desired form. Said bracket'is provided on its outeredge with bead b, of greater thickness than the height of the slot,which it effectually conceals and closes when the bracket isswung withinthe slot. When not in use,

1 the bracket is intended to be swung within the slot and entirelyinclosed by and concealed within the organ-case.

It is desirable in organs that certain of the panels be easily removablein order to open up the case for cleaning or repairing the organ orregulating the mechanism of the same.

Furthermore, it is desirable that said removable portions may be removedand replaced in position without the necessity of using a screw-driveror other tool. To this end I provided the key-slip O and the front lowerpanel F with an adjustable lock that may be operated from outside thecase merely by turning a knob, and thus the removableportions removedand again inserted and securely looked, as desired. The lower edge ofkey-slip C fits in any suitable rabbet formed in the case. Said key-slipis provided near its respective longitudinal ends with a pivotal leverlock or button d, provided with hook d and shank 61 the latter journaledthrough the key-slip and provided on its (N0 model.)

outer side with hand-knob d These buttons look over shoulders 2 withinthe case and secure the key-slip rigidlyin position. Asimilar button ispivoted in the panel F and locks the same in a similar manner byengaging with shoulder 6 within the case.

The foregoing description and accompanying drawings set forth in detailmechanism in embodiment of my invention. Change maybe made thereinprovided the principles of construction respectively recited in thefollowing claims are employed.

This application is a division of my application, Serial No. 194,288,filed March 6, 1886, embracing claims for an improvement in organspatented April 17, 1889, N 0. 401,474.

I therefore particularly point out and distinctly claim as myinvention- 1. The combination, with an organ-case provided with a slot,of a swinging lampbracket fitted in said slot, substantially as setforth.

2. The combination, with a pivotal lampbracket, of an organ-caseprovided with a slot formed in the front section of the same, in whichsaid slot said lamp-bracket is fitted, substantially as set forth.

3. The combination, with a pivotal bracket provided on its outer edgewith a bead, of an organ-case provided with a slot formed in the frontsection of the same, said bracket adjacent to the organ key-board andsliding within said slot, the opening of which is adapted to be closedby said bead, substantially as set forth.

shaped bracket provided with a plane upper face and having its outeredge provided with a bead, of an organ-case provided with a slot formedin the front section of the same, said bracket adjacent to the organkey-board and adapted to slide within said slot, the opening of which isadapted to be closed by said bead, substantially as set forth.

5. The combination, with a pivotal sectorshaped bracket provided with aplane upper face and having its outer edge provided with a bead, of anorgan-case provided with a slot formed in the front section of the same,the

vertical thickness of said bead being greater than the vertical heightof said slot, said a removable portion of said case, of a pivotallever-lock d, having central shank portion (1 j ournaled through saidremovable portion, 15 said button provided at its outer extremityoutside the organ-case with knob (1 and provided at its inner extremitywith the hook (1, formed at right angles to said shank portion andengaging with the inner portion of said organ-case, substantially as setforth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing to be my invention I havehereunto set my hand this 10th day of December, A. D. 1888.
